Skills Collection

Make a page where people can tell in which areas they are willing to support others.

Description

Some Page should list different things needed for working on the project and users should attach themself when they offer support for it. This is meant that people who run into problems know who to ask. In contrast this is not meant like these Skill pages on Sourceforge or such. I don’t like this rating and posing system. We let people assign themself to skill and not skills to people and there is no rating.

Skills shall be anything which is needed like the tools we use, the code we create etc.

Example

Git
  • ct

  • j6t

autotools
  • ct

lumiera/renderpipe
  • ichthyo

Question: shall this contain emails?

Tasks

  • just set this page up …
    either on this wiki or in a TiddlyWiki which becomes checked into the repo

Pros

  • inter developer support and help network

Cons

  • privacy concerns, people might not publish what they know or, even more, what they do not know

Alternatives

…urgs 😶

Rationale

This only announces where people offer support within the lumiera developer community and is absolutely voluntary.

Comments

Historical remark: This RfC stems from the very first days of the »Cinelerra-3 movment«, which turned into the Lumiera project over the course of the following months. The RfC was already marked as parked when first imported into the Lumiera Documentation in 2010. Early in 2008 however, at the March developer meeting, it was discussed shortly and deemed “…only useful if there are more developers working on the project”.

Reading this RfC today gives me some kind of peculiar melancholic feeling — it has the vibes of »zero hour«, when all hands on deck are needed and everyone wants to help; people write their names on a blackboard at the wayside, to get into contact, organise themselves or maybe just to find their beloved ones…
